Music always seemed to flow from the Apollo House, it didn't matter, day or night, there was always music in the air. Never anything over powering or out of place, more like a quiet background hum or perfectly synced sound track to a movie, the only disruption being when Apollo's children decided to make their own music. Today was such a time. Nicky Wolf was in one corner working on a set list he hoped to use at Club Orion later that night. Across the common room Archer sat humming as he scribbled out notes on a music ledger. Both quite content and engrossed in their work, so much so that Paul couldn't take it any more.
"You two have to be the two most boring siblings I have, even Mels is more entertaining than you guys,"
"Get over it, some people have actual work to do," Nicky shot back annoyed that Paul had interrupted him.
"Oh please like DJing at the Academy's student union is any big deal, anyone with half a brain could do it," Paul provoked knowing exactly which of Nicky's buttons to push. Archer laughed nodding his head, still scribbling away.
"Like you're any better, Mr-I've-had-a-thousand-years-of-practice-and-yet-I-still-have-to-play-second-fiddle-to-a-tone-deaf-Hermes-boy," Paul grinned inwardly knowing that sometime the best music comes from adversity and confrontation.
"At least we have solid jobs, what do you have? Oh that's right nothing but a smart mouth and a bossy twin," Nicky retorted kicking up the volume to his DJ sound system.
"News flash Nicks, so do you." Archer fired resulting in a deathly glare from Nicky. This time Paul grinned openly, this was exactly what he was looking for.
"Even Mels is twice the DJ you and Andee are put together. Whereas I am so far beyond comparison with you, it's not even funny," Paul offered earning his own "I know where you sleep and I will kill you" glares from Nicky.
"Is that fact?" Nicky asked coldly turning up the volume another knotch.
"I don't know about Mels so much, but I certainly could. Why I remember at the Lotus--"
"If I hear another freaking story about how great you were at the Lotus I swear to dad that I will shove a trombone so far up your ass it'll give you buck teeth," Paul goaded switching on his own DJ booth. Archer made a rude gesture in Paul's direction muttering profanities in both Ancient Greek and Latin, so many that Paul couldn't even keep up.
"You do know what this means right?" Nicky asked smirking at his brothers.
"A battle of the DJs of course," Paul answered with a grin that would put the Cheshire cat to shame. Archer just shook his head kicking up the Volume to max as he blasted 'Somewhere over the Rainbow,'
"Seriously?!" Paul asked incredulously. "That is beyond old school gay," He brought his own volume up with a mashup of Cher and Madonna hits which rattled the windows.
-b*tch Please- Nicky said in sign language as he started spinning some hardcore rave music. "This is how you do it son, none of that disco queen crap, the demigods around here have much more refined taste then that,"
"Which is why they are all at my show instead of listening to your sad little thump thump," Archer offered before he started singing along with "You're so Vain,"
"Oh really? Last time I checked it was Orion's show, as he's the only one who can carry a tune, even if he needs a bucket and ten giants to help him carry it," Nicky laughed as he mixed in some dubstep bobbing along with his music.
Paul laughed as he matched up his tempo with Nicky's throwing in some Crystal Waters "100% Pure Love"
Archer rolled his eyes as he killed his DJ booth and jumped up onto a speaker belting out the lyrics along with Nicky and Paul's songs, making every note pitch perfect and in exact time with the back beat. Paul just gave him a "What the f*ck?" look as he switched over to some cheesy Country song just to throw Archer off. But it was all for nothing as Archer immediately picked up the new song, even throwing in a country twang now and again. Nicky grinned wickedly as he quickly switched over to a fast paced death metal song, while Paul kept up the slow mournful country sound. Archer kept bouncing back and forth between the two very different sounds, some how making them sound like a sing song until his face was red and his chest was heaving.
Paul and Nicky were laughing wickedly as the increased the disparity in the two songs beats, Paul making his slower and more balladlike, while Nicky cranked up his beat so fast a that it could have given a humming bird a heart attack. By now Archer was sweating bucket while his brothers were rolling in the floor laughing. By the time Archer finished, shouting out "Now that's how it's done son!" the other two were laughing so hard tears were pouring from their eyes...just another day in the Apollo House at Half-Blood Academy.
